Elements of Community Scorecard
Effective implementation of the CSC process requires at least a minimal level of willingness on the part of both the company and local communities to engage and seek common solutions.
This may require a shift in mindset and a willingness from stakeholders to try something new. The initiating party—whether it’s senior management, community relations staff, a partner NGO, or a community-based organization—may need to invest upfront time and effort in explaining the potential benefits of the CSC process and gaining buy-in. The good news is that even when stakeholders are initially reluctant, a single CSC experience is often sufficient to convince all parties of the value of the process.
